Anxiety/chest pain

Just a general chat. I have what is I'm assuming anxiety. A lot of traumatic events have happened in my life. And I now seemed to have developed pain in my chest/sternum, upper back, left arm. Dull aches that never leave with periods of it being worse/abnormal feeling.

I attended gp who diagnosed costochondritis/stress a couple months ago. But I haven't really improved. Has anyone had anything similar? I don't have breathlessness, palpitations or sweaty palms. Just more of constant pain that is getting me down.

Did they give you anything, advice?

But yes, stress & anxiety can cause all manner of very real physical pain - but that doesn't mean you ignore it :) Back to your GP & put your foot down that you want assessing properly.

Doesn't sound anything like Costo tbh. It may be anxiety but I'd try and see another gp.
